I think it’s about time that we had our say and tell our own stories, in our own unique way.”

And as a result of this one key-missing element in her life, she certainly struggled to make her life work. After her first marriage of sixteen years ended in a bitter divorce, Angela began what she calls her, “Journey to Being.” The “Journey to Being” process consist of seven principles that she incorporated in her life to help her move through her pain to healing her daddy wounds and to now living a life of love, acceptance and forgiveness.

“The women in this film placed it all there for us to see. They were authentic, real and transparent”, says Angela. Angela continues on by saying, “It’s time that we had our say and told our own stories. We are not a study or a statistic, but we are real women whose lives have been impacted by this issue. We are not here to blame our dads or play the victim. We are not broken or damaged, we simply needed to heal our daddy wounds and rewrite a new story for our lives. And that’s exactly what we’ve done. This documentary will reveal this for all to see.”

The Making of a Fatherless Daughter is a must see film for every female who has ever felt the pain, emptiness and loneliness that comes from having an unavailable, unattached or absent dad.
